In
recent years, the rise of china is a much talked about topic.
Some believed that China's rapid growth is a myth perpetrated by
Government propaganda. Many others though that the lack of
democracy and the unfinished nature of reforms under china's
"socialist market economy" would lead to an implosion
as in the erstwhile Soviet Union. china has so far proven them
wrong. There is now very little doubt that china has stood up
and will be a dominating factor in Asia and the world during the
twenty-first century. Many in Asia are now getting reconciled to
China's rise but they now see as a threat. In this book Dr.
Ramgopal Agarwala argues that even after allowing for weaknesses
on China's statistics. China represents the most impressive and,
because of its size, the most important development success
story in the world history. Increasingly, 'look east' will mean
looking to China. Within a generation China is likely to become
the largest economy in the world and in that position it has
much to contribute to developed and developing countries in
terms of trade and investment and above al, in terms of ideas on
development. this potential can, however, be realized only if
the world integrates China into the world development community
as an important member If, however, the world continues to treat
her as a threat, it will become one.
